As you might have noticed, we experienced a prolonged downtime of the website for the most part of this week.This was caused by a double hard disk failure on our root server. The Starport runs on a RAID1 configuration, however, since one hard disk completely failed while the other was also slowly failing, this meant that the website was getting slower and slower until it finally was barely reachable.

Fortunately, the hard disk content could mostly be rescued (except for less than 200 KB of bad block data). Meanwhile, both hard disks have been replaced and the site is running smooth again.

I'm sorry for the downtime and I'm going to take measures so that this will not happen again.

Glad to see you again. I was afraid Starport had hit a bump in the FreeLancer road like many of the sites are starting to do. Can't imagine FL ever going out, but RSI will probably start taking a lot of Lancers. I won't, because it will probably be the 4th of Infinity before I can afford a new computer to play.
